Osorio scores late to lift struggling Toronto FC to draw with D.C. United

Substitute Jonathan Osorio scored in the 89th minute to lift Toronto FC into a 2-2 road draw with D.C. United in Major League Soccer play Saturday, snapping TFC's five-game losing streak.

Bill Hamid stopped substitute Jordan Perruzza's hard shot but could not hang on and a falling Osorio poked the rebound in.

Osorio, who had missed the three previous games with a leg injury, came in off the bench in the 62nd minute. He was lucky to stay on the field after a poorly timed challenge on Steven Birnbaum, escaping only with a yellow.

D.C. seemed headed to victory after Ecuador forward Michael Estrada scored one goal and set up another until Osorio stepped up with his 51st career goal for TFC.

Kickoff was pushed back 2 1/2 hours to 6:30 p.m. local time, with the area facing weekend heat expected to exceed mid-July levels.

It was 33 degrees Celsius, feeling like 35, at the original kickoff time. The temperature had dropped slightly to 31 C, feeling like 32, when the game actually started.

Missing the injured Alejandro Pozuelo, Chris Mavinga, Kadin Chung, Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, Noble Okello. and Jacob Shaffelburg, Toronto's starting 11 featured seven Canadians including four 19-year-olds.

D.C. was quicker out of the starting blocks and went ahead in the seventh minute on an Edison Flores goal. Toronto lost the ball in midfield and, five passes later, Estrada found the Peruvian designated player between a pair of Toronto defenders for a simple tap-in through goalkeeper Alex Bono's legs for his first of the season.

It marked the fifth goal Toronto has conceded in the first 15
